President Trump is right! Too much protectionism from Canada and we get steel dumped from China then sold through third parties as an upgrade. This Diane Francis from Financial post Canada has common sense!

Both parties are to blame. Both parties are to blame with a DEA not being able to stop sales of opioids. Both parties are to blame with the attorneys running amok and keeping prices of medicine High. Both parties are in bed with the doctors, the lawyers and the Pharmaceuticals. And maybe even with other countries influencing our trade policies until now!

Ex-DEA agent: Opioid crisis fueled by drug industry and Congress
Whistleblower Joe Rannazzisi says drug distributors pumped opioids into U.S. communities -- knowing that people were dying -- and says industry lobbyists and Congress derailed the DEA's efforts to stop it

Tariffs have been used by the US since the founding of our nation in 1776 (and likely before). Previously, tariffs provided most of the revenue to the US government, until the creation of the Federal Income Tax in 1913.
Canada puts way more tariffs on US goods than the US does to Canadian ones. Up to 250% taxes are levied on dairy and other US Agricultural products by Canada (Protecting Canada's dairy industry).

Look what happens when you go over your quota with maple syrup. It's more like Al Capone and OPEC combined.

The last days of Quebec’s maple syrup rebellion
For years, dozens of rebels — as a Quebec judge dubbed them — sold their syrup on the black market in an act of defiance

Let me see if I can follow the logic here. There is no trade deficit with Canada. The national security threat Canada poses is in the form of being a third party conduit for Chinese steel that is galvanized by other countries then bought on the cheap by the US. So to encourage US businesses to buy more US steel, we need to make importing cheap steel as expensive as possible; and that what makes countries like Canada, England, and the EU a national security threat. Is that the general argument?
So heaven forbid Canada finds another willing trade partner in the same manner that Mexico started to reach out more to the EU, China, and S. American countries. 70% of Canadian exports are to the US; what's the percentage of US exports to Canada? That's a necessary detail to know when discussing who has leverage in negotiations.

Actually your incorrect. The figure to know is what percentage of goods consummed in the United States does Canada represent via it's imports and then compare it to the Canadian figure and that will tell you which country will win the tariff war. Unfortunately for Canada, it is the United States hands down. Because 75% of Canada's population lives within 100 miles of a U.S. Border, majority of Canada finds U.S. goods a lot cheaper than shipping in from Europe or China........just due to transportation costs.

SPC Erich Guenther - 75% of Canada's population lives within 100 miles of US border? Where did you get that statistic from? Also, if the argument is 70% of Canadian goods are being exported to the US at a cheaper rate than what US is exporting to Canada then how are those Canadians living close to the border benefitting from cheaper US goods? Your logic as usual is flawed. Americans shipping Canadian goods into country are benefitting a lot more than any Canadian shipping goods from the US. This debate has little to do with tranpo/shipping costs by individuals in close proximity to the border.
